- scroll down to the desired position- whoops, a little too far: scroll up a tad- the menu shows and obscures what you were trying to see

My wife and I find this functionality kind of maddening . Much prefer to tap to show/hide the menus, giving you more control - and freeing us from the paranoia of the menu popping up as we are moving around.

I've seen this pattern elsewhere (chrome on android?) but it never really bothered me there.

Hi. Yes. If this is the same as having the book, chapter, and date disappear with the necessity to have to tap every time to have it reappear -- then yes. I prefer it the way it was -- always onscreen.
